UVA site back online after Chinese hack

Published August 18, 2015 2:33pm ET



The University of Virginia has brought the secure area of its website back online after completing a security upgrade over the weekend, two days after the school took the site down and notified students that it had been hacked in June by someone in China.

The university said federal officials notified them of the breach this summer and confirmed it on June 11. However, the university also said the attack had been directed at two employees, and that personal information on students had not been violated.
